RocketRAID 230x Hardware Description/Installation
LED Connections –RR2300
The RocketRAID 2300 host adapter has two LED jumpers that are used to indicate the
activity and failure status of hard disks attached to the card’s four SATAII channels.
J3 and J4 can be used to configure LED indicators for each individual disk attached to
the card (one LED per channel).
1: D1
2: D2
3: D3
4: D4
5: +3.3V
1,2,3,4 represent the fail status of disk 1,2,3,4 respectively, low level is effective. When
hard disk is normal, they keep high level 3.3 V. If it worked in abnormality, for example
the hard disk is lost, which will change to low level.
When connected, please connect the cathode of LBD to Pin 1, 2, 3 and 4. If the anode
of LBD isn’t been powered supply, please connect it to Pin 5 to achieve fail
indication.
Analogy with above, the second group are used to indicate the fail status of hard disk
of 5-8 channels.
The following diagram describes the connector pin definitions for both of these LED
connectors. J3 provides LED support for Disk Failure, while J4 supports Disk Activity.
Pins 1-4 represent each SATAII channel/port (Pin 1 = Port 1, Pin2 = Port 2, etc.).
Pin 5 is for power (VCC, 3.3v)
